What's your favorite baccy storage container and why?

[Jevverrett]

I use screw top mason jars. They come in various sizes, seal airtight and are stackable. The deal with those old humi- jars I think, is this. Those older blends are full of humicants. I smoke some Prince Albert sometimes when I run out on the road, or when I break in a new pipe to get a little pre cake coating. That stuff stays fresh forever, I had some in my pickup for over a month, it was still ok to smoke. (I was desperate at the time). My great uncle (82 yrs old this year btw) smokes half and half religiously. And he just leaves it in the big can and it stays fresh.

I like the bail top jars for bulks that I smoke regularly. They do leak, so they're not for long term storage .

Bail top jars for my tins and mason jars for the bulk.

I use mason jars, but I actually prefer the 4 oz (quarter pint) variety. That way you can split a tin when you open it to try some and cellar some. It's good for those who smoke less often and smoke a larger variety of tobaccos at one time.

Feazelle, do you just stack the tins in the bail tops or what?

 

[Feazelle-n-it]

Yes. I found jars big enough for the largest tins.

Got a pic handy? I'd be interested in seeing what you've done....

Any particular train of thought behind doing it that way?
